Journal ArticleDOI
From Aggregates to Integrates: Physiological Aspects of Modularity in Colonial Animals
TL;DR: Physiological adaptations of colonies in the areas of resource-sharing, defensive behaviour and locomotion, and exchange of nutrients between zooids, are reviewed and discussed.
Journal Article
List of the Worldwide Food Habits of Nudibranchs
Gary R McDonald,James Nybakken +1 more
TL;DR: The list of the worldwide food habits of nudibranchs was originally available on the web as a supplement to two articles published in the Veliger: McDonald & Nybakken, 1997 & 1999, so it is uploaded to eScholarship in order to make it available once again.
Book ChapterDOI
Energy Transfer Processes in Bioluminescence
TL;DR: Bioluminescence is the efficient conversion of chemical energy into visible light energy by biological systems and is closely related to fluorescence, differing only in the mechanism of excited state population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances and model systems in coelenterate neurobiology.
TL;DR: The most important factor, however, and the one which has probably contributed most to the problems associated with these animals, is that there has been a great deal of uncertainty as to the cellular origin of recorded signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ca2+-induced bioluminescence in Renilla reniformis. Purification and characterization of a calcium-triggered luciferin-binding protein.
H. Charbonneau,M.J. Cormier +1 more
TL;DR: This study clearly demonstrates that BP-LH2 is capable of triggering a bioluminescent flash in response to an intracellular Ca2+ transient.

The Nerve Net of the Actinozoa: I. Facilitation
TL;DR: The true characteristics of the nerve net are diffuse conduction and the extreme development of facilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for similar biochemical requirements for bioluminescence among the coelenterates.
Milton J. Cormier,Kazuo Hori,Yashwant D. Karkhanis,James M. Anderson,John E. Wampler,James G. Morin,J. W. Hastings +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the chemical requirements among all the bioluminescent coelenterates that have been examined are very similar or identical to those already described for Renilla by Cormier and associates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pacemakers and activity patterns in medusae: homage to romanes.
TL;DR: Direct recording reveals a hydrozoan pattern of multiple pacemakers, superimposed conducting systems, cryptic activity, and regional autonomy in the hydromedusae which is very different from the greater simplicity of the scyphozoa.
